man, am jealous of your grow area, lush….

why run 24/0 ? save the elec and run 20/4 or 18/6… many pppl here say they need a night cycle, whether this is true or not but it would be more natural..

what beans have ya popped…. ?

Yes, there's no need to have any plants on a 24/7 light cycle except clones. Even the autoflowers people recommend a 20/4. Also, being as to how you have a buttload of holes drilled all the way up the sides you should probably most definitely spraypaint those white buckets black since light is showing through and on the holes. Basically roots won't grow anywhere near those holes since light is coming in.

Thanks! And I'm on 24/7 because I just put 4 white rhino clones in, and only running a cfl and 90watt led ufo light so electricity isn't a problem. And I'm aiming for the "airpot" type of pot. And yes the buckets need to be black but realized after I planted them. And don't want to spray them now cause of chemicals. But all new transplants will be in black pots. And perspextoe I have 1 sweet mango auto( biggest plant) 1northern lights auto,(small big bud plant) 4 auto afghan purple, 2sugar black rose, 2white rhino's, 1 special kush, and now 4 new white Rhino clones off of my white rhino. Thanks! Happy growing guys!
